Erika asked me to create a custom puppy card, and I LOVE the idea!

hi again, warmth

we've had a blissful recurrence of Summer in the last few days.
so much so, that i literally needed to pause and remember what month we were even in.
i mean sure, my hair was an enemy. and sure it had been nice to forget what sweat feels like dripping down my calf.

but the sun, oh the sun, it has lifted my spirit and made me happy x's 2.

new artwork

and soon to be in the shop!

oh, hello pretty world

the rain begins

i don't think i'm alone when i say that i've enjoyed being holed up this weekend. staying cozy, and away from nature's tears. listening to my husband softly play classical piano, while my cat bounces out all of it's energy from room to room.
hot tea.
blankets.
movies.
sometimes we all just like to feel like we're warm inside a womb again.
don't deny it :)
happy restful weekend, ya'll

pause

let's just take a moment and look at how good these two colors go together.

great. now carry on :)

In House

i love a good house concert.
nothing like hearing a song, ten feet away from you.
beats any ipod, any day.
luckily in p-town you can find one almost every day, if you really looked hard enough.

'tis good :)

here's the thing about the NW

it's friggin beautiful.
we spent our saturday wandering around a rainforest full of waterfalls.
no big deal, just an hour away from where we live :)
oh and did i mention that my wonderful husband got us a hotel for the weekend just to get away?
glorious.

ok. i will stop gloating now.
but honestly, sometimes, things are just.too.good. period.
for instance this past weekend, hope yours was fun too!

Once Upon a Time

My Little Buffalo was invited to be a part of an event called "Mixer Match". Here's the premise. 60 artists and artisans gather to have 2 minutes with 20 shop owners. (that's me and mr. up there trying to sell to the delightful shop Tender Loving Empire) The goal? Get the shop owners to sell your goods! I even had to wear one of those papers on my shirt like they do in races. "Vendor # A25".
intimidating? a bit... extremely fun: yes indeed..

It was fun, I got to meet so many people that I've only viewed from afar, and even had more than a few bites for some my little buffalo goodness. Not to mention that I felt so posh in the swanky venue and had my fair share of cream puffs as well.

I was even interviewed for a movie about crafting in the U S of A.
I'll sign your autograph later :)
HAPPY WEEKEND!

website

i've got something exciting in the works....
here's an obvious hint

Autumn

Don't you just love the word Autumn so much more than, FALL.

it's like warm butter on a biscuit to me.

it's kind of hard to believe that we're heading towards autumn right now as we speak. We're lucky because here in Portland we've had a few Summer afterthoughts and nice warm days.

Part of me is okay with it getting crisper though.

pretty leaves.

apple cider.

no guilt for movie marathons :)

how about you?

have you seen this? adorable!
